Is Hellman's Mayo suitable for vegetarians?

Asked 2 years ago
Hellmann's Mayo is generally considered suitable for vegetarians, as it is made with plant-based ingredients. The primary components include oil, water, egg yolks, vinegar, and various seasonings. However, it is important to note that the presence of egg yolks may make it unsuitable for strict vegans and individuals who avoid all animal products. Hellmann's Mayo, specifically the traditional varieties, contains eggs, which are a key ingredient in the emulsification process that gives mayonnaise its creamy texture. Hellmann's also offers a range of products, including vegan mayonnaise options that completely exclude eggs and animal-derived ingredients, making them a great choice for those who follow a vegan diet. For individuals with dietary restrictions or those seeking to avoid specific ingredients, it is advisable to read the labels carefully to ensure the product meets their needs. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding specific products and their ingredients, a visit to the current Hellmann's website can provide valuable insight.
